Design

Any reason we are not posting graphics of the design, as we do with the 50 State quarters program? The first five have been released, and could be used under the same license. SixFourThree (talk) 17:59, 12 October 2021 (UTC)SixFourThree[reply]

They were just released and no one's gotten around to it here yet – you're welcome to upload them! Reywas92^Talk 18:19, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't realize they were that new - added! Thanks. SixFourThree (talk) 13:16, 13 October 2021 (UTC)SixFourThree[reply]

Images of the coins on individual's pages

Have noticed that none of the first six non-free use imaged coins appear on the topic page of the honorees. I would think that they would qualify as pages where it would be fine to add the reverse of the coins, but am not proficient in going through the image-page process to add them. Is this something somebody can do? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:45, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2024 coin release date source

New quarter designs

Why haven't the 2025 designs been altered if the U.S. Mint has already released the new quarter designs? 190.53.248.95 (talk) 21:16, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could you provide a link? I did not find any announcement of the designs being chosen on the US Mint's website. - ZLEA _T\^C 21:26, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove all the designs used in the article except for the main infobox at top of page?

Per WP:FU, the rationale states, "To minimize legal exposure by limiting the amount of non-free content, using more narrowly defined criteria than apply under the fair use provisions in United States copyright law" and "Minimal number of items. Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information.". What I suggest is a link to the direct reverse image source, as applied to various global non-free currencies in their articles. This [obviously] is an evasion of the policy's enforcement, which literally defeats the purpose of a fair use environment. Consider talking to the reference desk to get a non-copyright infringement solution settled. ѕιη¢єяєℓу ƒяσм, ᗰOᗪ ᑕᖇEᗩTOᖇ 🏡 🗨 📝 03:22, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the first four, the images I've clicked on all are public domain images, and seem fine for this page and Wikipedia usage. Have no idea why the first four are saying non-copyright, but would arguably be fair use for this page. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:40, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously not. WP:NFCI explicitly states that idenfication of currency is acceptable fair use. Images of the coins are needed to illustrate the topic. Reywas92^Talk 04:05, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

honoree descriptors.

ALL of the honoree descriptions really should start with a simple statement of who the person is / why they are honored. Some don't say anything at all ( Jovita Idar ). some contain a bunch of superfluous stuff and bury the lead ( oh, by the way, Sally Ride was an astronaut ). There could even be a column in the table for this as well. Gjxj (talk) 16:36, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use question

I was doing some research about the 2022 Maya Angelou coin, whom was designed by Emily Damstra. According to a web research, she did in fact work for the US Mint since 2014, and the Commons page for Determining if U.S. coins are free to use explicitly states,

"Please note that some AIP artists previously served as employees of the U.S. Mint. This group includes Don Everhart and Donna Weaver, though it is possible there are others. U.S. coins and medals designed by these individuals while they were employed at the mint are in the public domain. In some cases, coins and medals created by these designers while they were on staff at the mint have been mislabeled by the mint as having been created by AIP artists. Therefore, you will sometimes have to verify not just who designed a coin or medal, but also when they designed it."

Even though the line above claims: "For example, the 2021 Christa McAuliffe Silver Dollar's obverse was designed by Laurie Musser (Artistic Infusion Program), and its reverse was designed by Emily Damstra (Artistic Infusion Program). Because both sides of the coin were designed by AIP artists, both are non-free.", it probably indicates that it's public domain, but is kind-of not free. Do we need to talk in Commons and at the reference desk for more details? Please lmk here or at my talk page. ѕιη¢єяєℓу ƒяσм, ᗰOᗪ ᑕᖇEᗩTOᖇ 🏡 🗨 📝 02:09, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Where did you find that she is an official Mint employee? The Mint's website lists her as an AIP artist as of 2024. I have not found any evidence of her being an actual employee. - ZLEA _T\^C 04:07, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This entry of the "GovMint" may say so otherwise: [1] ѕιη¢єяєℓу ƒяσм, ᗰOᗪ ᑕᖇEᗩTOᖇ 🏡 🗨 📝 04:15, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It does seem to say that, but I think it's safest to assume that this is in error as the US Mint themselves lists her as an AIP artist rather than an employee. - ZLEA _T\^C 00:17, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The Angelou quarter image is not hosted at Commons, it is local with a Non-free use rationale. Reywas92^Talk 01:58, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
